One of the best things in life is playing the piano. There is nothing like it in the world! Although it fun to just sit down and play whatever I am in the mood to play, being able to play the piano and just "jam" away at the keys was not a talent that I accomplished in one night. I have been playing piano since I was 6 years of age. I  feel every person should have the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument.

I admit it wasn't always fun to play. When I first started playing or rather I should say learning to play, it was absolutely tiring and as child, quite draining. But after several years of playing, the songs became fun to play and as time when by, it became rather fun to just sit down and start playing a song cause well, I could actually sit and play something that I would enjoy playing. Now, I can listen to a song and within little time at all I can roughly figure out how to play the song. 

I think the best feeling though is being to play what I want to play. When I started learning, I couldn't play just any song cause I didn't know how to play any song. How could I hope to play a song I really liked if I couldn't even play something I needed to learn? 

Practicing and constant practice was necessary to develop the skill and talent of playing music. Once I mastered enough songs and skills to understand music, I was able to pick up on other songs and now, playing piano is only fun fun fun! Actually I can't really say it's pure fun cause I still do has to practice. But, the practice is fun now!

Performing at the House of Blues

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to perform at the House of Blues with the band I am in. Our lead singer is Morgan Mascorro. We call ourselves "Morgan and the Minx." I play the piano in out group. Being in a band again has made me feel like I am part of a team again. It's quite a lot of work to be caring an 88 keyboard around but it's worth the fun and hot of performing for people. This was our second performance live. I can't believe we had the opportunity to perform there. It was my first time at the House of Blues and I never knew it was that big! I have only seen it driving by on Sunset Blvd but never realized how many floors it had and how many rooms it had. Can't wait to perform there again soon!
